For 21-year-old Ignazio Cireddu, it is his home tour. The young Sardinian knows the pitfalls of the five stages. “It’s constantly up and down on all five stages. And above all, it’s very windy. The focus will not be on the result, but on getting into the swing of the season. Above all, it should be and will be a first, but very important assessment of the team’s position, which also needs to come together!” says team manager Thomas Kofler.
